Boy, Missing: World Book Day 2022

I'd have to say, if you are starting to try to read books, this 100 pages little story is gonna give you some confidence, for sure.

When book arrived it seemed a bit small and whenI looked on the back book price was stamped on the book £1.00 only.We paid around £2.39 so that in mind it’s not freePost it’s £1.39 postage for a very thin small bookbit of a ripoff. Should of looked on the back beforeputting a price on it

Ellie and her family have gone camping in the woods. As her parents and aunt go to get supplies from nearby shops she is left in charge of cleaning up the camp with her cousin Harlan.Usually she and Harlan are best friends, but he's gone very cruel and distant lately. When he disappears from the camp Ellie breaks her fathers rules and goes searching for him.It's an action packed ride filled with danger and although short it was perfect for me right now as I needed a nice distraction from the real world.I really enjoyed this one, and highly recommend this, or any of Sophie Mckenzies other works.

A family camping trip sees Ellen trying to figure out why her cousin who has always been her best friend is suddenly being off with her but when he suddenly seems to have disappeared whilst the rest of the family are away from the campsite she must put aside their differences and try to be brave so that she can ensure her cousin is safe.This book is well written and delivers a good overall story. I didn't feel too much worry during the story as things unfolded but as this is aimed at younger readers I felt this to be the right level of "danger" for them rather than trying to overdo it and make it feel uncomfortable.Overall I think this is a good introduction to the author and a way to see if younger readers are going to be able to cope with somewhat complex situations like when someone goes missing.
